It was such fun to read everyone’s comments about their favorite winter linen scene. Most of you were carried back to your childhood, recalling the fun you had in the snow. I, too, have fond memories of playing in the snow – right up through high school when we all went sledding and going down the hill with that someone special was a thrill you would savor for days.

Using my trusty random number generator, operated by my trusty assistant (also my husband – what a good combination, don’t you think?) comment # 11 was the winner!

Here is a photo of the screen showing the winning number…

Here is a photo of my trusty assistant. Imagine a northeast English accent…

I am pleased to announce that Lisa McGehee has won scene #2 along with the brown linen for a border and Anchor thread colors 1, 20 and 381 (white, red and brown). She particularly liked this scene as it reminds her of growing up in the mountains. Congratulations Lisa! Please send me your postal address through the “Contact” page so I can send your gift on its way!

Here’s a photo of what’s coming your way, Lisa!

On Friday I’ll be posting an article about how I made my pillow (yes, I’m finished already in record time!)

überlegen – to think, consider, ponder, deliberate

For centuries women have done needlework. It was a necessary skill, it was an accomplishment, it was a chance to appear to be active while giving ones mind free rein to consider, to think.
Calm, slow, careful stitches gave the appearance of activity, skill and usefulness, but the mind was free to think, to be quiet, to wander...
An unbroken thread of women, stitching quietly, their minds pondering, considering, thinking, deliberating...for ages and ages.
